tanned only there Careful consideration of
the observations Of science in this regard
proves that anywhere in California, ex
cepting the areas covered by the Moiave
and Colorado deserts, and the higher sum-
mits of the Sierras, every locality enjoys
about 800 delightful days out of 500 in
each year. Eliminating about 60 days
from the hottest locality of the San Joa-
quin valley, you have remaining climate
in all respects as delightful as can be found
elsewhere in the State 1t is a region
however, requiring resort to artificial irri-
CATION for the proper development of its
fertility, and its great future lies in the
direction of utilizing the vast volumes of
water to reach its central drainage, the
San Joaquin river, in lateral streams from
the high Sierras to the eastward.
THE AGRICULTURAL POPULATION
Of the State of California, including men,
women and children, has, by careful ascer-
tainment, been found to comprise but lbs,
600 inhabitants, and yet the value of the
agricultural and horticultural products
rewarding the industry of this small num-
Der of inhabitants equals, and even exceeds,
100000. To this must be added the
mineral output, and the value of the man
ufactures from the timber region. The
grand aggregate approximates Sl00,00O0o0
per annum.
The State embraces territorial area of
181, 900 square miles, or 100000 acres.
1t is occupied by a population of about
100000. 1t is, therefore, within the
limits of sober and judicious statement to
claim that the development of It's ma
terial resources is still in It's infancy. The
agricultural history of the State is most
remarkable. Its pioneer population had
no conception whatever Of its agricultural
capacities. Recently one of the most
far-seeing and intelligent Of his class in a
public address described his advent into
Colusa county. In picturesque phrase
ology he depicted the

and autumn, are due to the snowy submits
of the neighboring mountains. In fact,
WHEREVER SNOWY SUBMITS MAY BE
SEEN
From any locality in valley, their in
huence will be felt in modifying the eli
mate of that locality Oroville possesses
perhaps the very best and most reliable
citrus climate in California, because be-
hind it, the line of equal elevation at
1000 feet makes the greatest eastern
| recession. The distance from Oroville to
that line is 80 miles Thus, while it is
true that some of the valleys of the Coast
Range and coast region are far removed
from the snowy SUBMITS, it must be re-
membered that they are subjected to the
| influence of an Arctic Oceanic current
which impinges on Cape Mendoeino, and
confers upon San Francisco and other
coast localities the cool west winds of
summer. Keeping this view, Oroville
stands at the greatest possible distance
from the region of perpetual snow Of any
locality in the State, where there is sui
fcient rainfall to develop the natural
fertility of the soil without resort to arti-
fetal irrigation. The primary foothills of
certain portions of Tuolomne county have
a similar climate, and for similar reason.
WATER AND DEVELOPMENT.
We have already said that the material
! resources of California are in their infancy.
This is very fully illustrated by the exist
ing influx of immigration in Southern
| California. The small area of land in the
| immediate vicinity of Los Angeles receives
| n oo,,s;darohIa rainfall for the southern Dor
ton of the State. For examples, observa-
tions taken in the city Of Los Angeles IT.
self in the winter of 1885, showed to-
tai rainfall of q inches, as against rs
inches at Sacramento, and 55 at Redding.
In 1S76-77 it had 4 inches, as against 9
inches at Sacramento and "a at Redding.
In 1s77-78 it again had q inches, against
I, % at Sacramento, at 50 at Redding. Thus,
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-01-01

it will be seen that Los Angeles, being To-
Gated near the coast, receives a considerable
rainfall; but the horticultural industry
which has been developed there is not made
dependent upon the annual rainfall. The
rain performs little more than the service
of making storage Of the water on the
SUBMITS of the mountains, and in the arti-
fetal reservoirs, for distribution by process
of irrigation. Without this resort to arti-
fetal moisture that county would remain
to-day what it was 25 years ago, arid and
uninyiting. From village of few hun
dred inhabitants, Los Angeles has within
five or six years arisen to the position of
the third city in population in the State,
having to-day, according to the claim and
estimate of some, nearly forty thousand in
habitants.
COMPARATIVE PRICES FOR LANDS.
Agricultural land in the small area of
level land tributary to Los Angeles is
quoted at more than five times the prices
asked for frst-class alluvial land in the
Sacramento valley, and nearly ten times
the price asked for land possessing equal
fertility and equal climatic advantages, in
the vicinity of Newcastle and Oroville.
Lands nel0 even as HlSH ds 2IiVOO per
acre, excluding all improvements, save
such as have grown upon the land at a cost
of less than S25 an acre, were sold fifteen
years ago for 81 50 per acre. Prices have
risen to 81, 900 per acre with an expendi-
ture upon the land of lest than $50 per
acre. Climatic considerations have played
an important part in this result For
more than half century very large
number of people in the United States
have been searching for a mild winter
climate. About 35,000,000 Of the in
habitants of the United States reside in
climate having for six and seven months
in the year pronounced winter weather
Anywhere north of line drawn east and

lack of appreciation of the real material
resources of the country, First, the pioneer
came to mine for gold; and second, the
science of agriculture, as understood and
pursued in the Atlantic States, was map
plicable here, and men everywhere are
Slow to abandon old tried methods in any
field of human activity, and, striking out
for themselves, discover the new methods
adapted to the new conditions Of soil and
climate.
NOTIFICATIONS OF CLIMATE.
Recurring again to the map. many of
the local notifications of climate may be
fully accounted for. We will take the
climate in the vicinity of Oroville as a
| notable example. Oroville is located in
the primary foothills on the Feather river,
in Butte county. The snow-clad noun
| tains living to the eastward of the great
valleys of California, have very marked
4, influence upon the night temperature of
/ these valleys The inhabitants of all
| mountainous countries cannot have failed to
note that during the spring, summer and
autumn months, there is uniformly cur
rent of air arising from the valleys toward
! the summit of the mountains during the
morning hours, and returning breeze
during the afternoon of each day. This
is due to the fact that the air of the
valleys becomes heated near the ground
first, and the superintendent cold air of
the upper regions presses the warm air
lateraliy up the TANKS of the mountains
At night, when the valleys retain more
nearly the temperature of the daytime,
the rising of great body of warm air
brings a cold current from the SUBMITS to
fill the vacuum. For this reason, where the
line dividing the alluvial from the foothill
lands and the line of equal elevation at
1000, is narrow, the nights of spring and
autumn are colder, producing inevitably
early and late frosts. The cool and cold
nights of RiYerside, fer instance, in the
southern portion Of this State, IN the spring

early as September, and ice gorges in the
Mississippi river at st. Louis are not in
frequent as late as The middle Of April.
Pulmonary complaints are the terror of
the inhabitants in the Northern States,
and, as already indicated, for more than
half century the people of this section
have sought
A LOCALITY FOR WINTER RESIDENCE.
For many years Cuba was favorlte place
of winter resort. New Orleans came in for
its share, but the general unhealthiness of
that city denied it much of its climatic
advantage. Florida was next invaded by
a rush of tourists; but, as compared with
Florida, California possesses much supe-
rior climate over an area of 1,200 miles
north and south, by 100 miles east and
west. In fact, there is no portion of the
State of California lying below the 1000
or 5,000-foot elevation which has a dis
tinctive winter in its calendar. Intimacy
of communication between California and
the great body Of the people Of the United
States has familiarized the country with
the value of its climate. Through
persistent publication, commencing with
series Of articles written by
Charles Nordhof for Harper's Monthly"
the climatic advantages of Southern Cali
fornia have become thoroughly known to
the people Of the coast. The tide was
turned from Cuba, Florida and other more
genial climates to Los Angeles. San
Bernardino, Riverside and other locali-
ties of Southern California, which were
rapidly becoming the refuge from the rig
ors Of Northern winter Among thirty

VAST SEA OF WILD OATS,

Ao1 oIA Or hll%b OAAtN;
Standing higher than his head, and over this
ocean of billowy verdure roamed at will
vast herds of antelope. The growth of
the wild grain apparently suggested moth
ing to the pioneer mind of the possibili-
ties for the production of cereals. For
more than quarter of century later the
plains of Colusa county were occupied by
herdsmen who pursued this branch of agri--
culture by the most barbarous method
known to modern civilization, to wit graz
ing the natural heritage of the soil. The
long summers, devoid of rain-the only
winter the agricultural regions of Califor-
MIA ever knew-apparently forbid the cul-
tivation of the soil The methods of agri-
culture applicable to the temperate zone
were inappheable here, and except in rare
instances, it does not appear to have occur
red to the pioneer mind that the spring
season of the year begins yearly with the
first rainfalls in October and November
that the period of rain, and of tempera-
ture sufficient to produce vegetation was
of as long duration in California as any
where in the temperate zone. That i'm
portant fact was one of much later dis
coyery.
SLOW TO UNDERSTAND.
Speaking of the hardness of the pioneer
population to appreciate the real capaci-
ties of the country, pioneer fruit-grower
recently said;
"When l purchased the lands upon
which my orchards in Solano county now
stand, there were three pear trees which,
planted for shade or experiment in the
line of fruit-growing, came into bearing
the year of my purchase. l sold SIS worth
of pears from those three trees that year,
and vet the fact was so little suggestive of
the adaptability of the soil and climate for
fruit-growing, that it was FIVE years after
that very significant result before planted
a single fruit tree

Trial of Herr Most.

New YORK, November 25.-The trial of
Herr Most was continued to-day. The
counsel for the defense, in the opening
address, declared it was not Most but free
speech on trial He declared among other
things that he would prove that when one
Of Most's friends wanted to begin the
work of destruction Most counseled pa
tience. Adolph Schenck, who was COM
mitted with Most last year for taking part
in an unlawful assemblage, was the first
witness. Officer Sacks testified that
Schenck had presided at the meeting in
Most's office. Schenck sWore he was on
Staten Island on the night in question.
He admitted he was an anarchist and in
favor of bringing about a revolution in
society, by force if necessary. He desired
anarchy as a condition of things, wherein
any state government should be conduct
ed without courts or without law Com
mon sense should be the only rule Of con-
duct. There should be no punishment
for wrong doing, except the guilty per
sons own conscience, which in time would
set him right. Moritz Schultz, printer
in Most's Office, swore that he presided at
the meeting and introduced Most. Schultz
stated that Most, when a person called
revenge" replied: "Not to-day; revenge
is hid in the lap of the future" The wit
ness insisted that Most had not recon-
mended any assassination or any violation

The Desert Land.

The order Of the late commissioner of
the land Office cancelling the desert land
entries in the neighborhood of Great
Falls will, it is asserted, be contested by
the desert land claimants before the sec
retary of the interior. The order has
been obtained on the specious showing of
the Great Falls Townsite company to
Special Agent Gum, who has been bam-
boozled with affidavits from everyone else
but practical farmers who alone were able
to give an authoritative idea on the sub
ject. The Sun River Canal company are
spending thousands Of dollars to bring ir-
rigation to the bench lands in that vicin-
ity. Would business men spend their
money SO foolishly if their was no necessi-
ty for it? There is no rainfall in that
neighborhood that will supply settlers on
raise crops without the aid Of artificial ir
rigdtion. It is we'll known fact that the
precipitation Of moisture increases the

neighborhood of Regina, along the Cana
dian Pacific were obliged to abandon their
farms on account of the lack of irrigating
facilities. They are further north good
deal than the bench lands around Great
Falls, but are of no account for agricul-
tural purposes without irrigation, which
cannot be procured there. The Great
Falls people are really doing themselves
an injury by this ostrich-like policy. By
asserting that the land il the neighbor-
hood of the town is not desert land they
will bring settlers there on false pretenses
who will give the land worse black eye by
leaving it as the farmers on the Canadian
Pacific have done than by admitting it to
be desert land, as it really is, but capable
of producing good results by cultivation
with rigation.-Butte Miner.

Cattle Shipments.

The Miner Livestock company Saturday
shipped the largest single shipment OF
cattle yet sent out of the Fort Benton
stock yards. They sent out twenty-five
Street stable cars loaded with 400 head OF
choice range cattle. These two trains are
the first of the Street cars to go from the
Benton stock yards straight through to
Chicago. To make up the second train
five cars of Conrad-Price cattle were add
ed to it, making twenty-seven cars in the
two trains. The first train left the yards
at o'clock under charge of Mr.. j. M.
Boardman, of the Miner Livestock com
pany. The second train left at $3.50
o'clock under charge of Mr.. Dice, of Kee-
nan & Hancoclz's livestock commission
house Of Chicago.
It was through the above house that
Messrs. Miner and Boardman succeeded
in securing enough Streets stable cars to
move the second shipment of the Shon-
kin association.
The Miner Livestock company have
the credit of making the first shipment
from Benton in stable cars through to
Chicago, and at the same time the dis
tinction of having made at one time the
heaviest individual shipment of cattle
from the Benton stock yards.

Couldn't Bear Exposure.

CINCINNATI, November 25.-It is report
ed that Albert Kebler, the attorney who
committed suicide yesterday, was driven
to the deed by an approaching revelation
OF heavy forgeries, committed by him in
the management of funds confded to his
care. An estimate is made that the liza
bilty thus incurred amounts to about
$4,000, while the property left by Keb-
Ter will not exceed $4,000. The persons
most seriously affected are bis own family
and friends. The revelation discloses the
motive to be nothing more than to keep
up luxurious style of living beyond his
means The use of trust funds having be-
gun, it's continuance became an apparent
necessity. An instance is given where
$4,000 was invested for client and all
the papers in relation to it, including the
mortgage, were forgeries. Friends find
the case SO strange that they attribute it to
some form of insanity

What He Did Say.

'tThose who live among books, and have
withal the gift of language, are apt to be
bookish in their expressions. One of this
class, Miss Eliza Robbins, Of Boston, was
visiting her friend, the poet Bryant. She
happened to be alone in his library when
a cabinet maker brought home chair he
had altered On Mr.. Bryant's return he
said: "What did the man say about my
chair?" "That the equilibrium is now
properly adjusted" she replied, not lifting
her eyes from the book she was reading.
"What fine fellow" said Mr.. Bryant,
laughing. II never heard him talk like
that. Now, Miss Robbins, what did he
say?" Well, he said: Tt ioggled just
right" she replied.
